Prepare about 4 cups of mushrooms.

Soften 1/2 cup of butter.

Mix 1 1/4 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 egg until smooth.

Spread the dough into a 10-inch pan with your hands, covering the sides with a thin layer.

Chop 1 leek and 1/2 onion into small pieces.

Fry the chopped onions and leeks in butter until softened.

Add the mushrooms and season with salt, black pepper, and a little oregano; cook until mushrooms release liquid.

Remove from heat and stir in cooking cream, grated cheese, and 2 eggs until combined.

Pour the filling into the uncooked crust and top with more grated cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for 25 minutes.
